Internet Mysteries: Padma G McCord

As I’ve mentioned several times here before, I’m a fan of certain horror YouTubers, including Nexpo. Nexpo’s latest video (done in conjunction with SomeOrdinaryGamers) concerns a woman named Padma G McCord, who seems to have thousands (or perhaps even millions) of websites all across the internet with little to no obvious purpose.

The question answered

The internet is huge, but there's a lot more to it then the tiny corner you know about. The internet is a much, much bigger place than you probably realise. You know about Facebook, Google, BBC iPlayer and Amazon, the list goes on. This tiny corner of the internet is probably where you have been your whole life and the Dark Web and the Deep Web loom in much shadier corners. Now the question arises, this shadier corner of the internet, where shady things happen with shady people under shades (okay that's enough), is it good or bad ?

To answer that, you have to know what the dark web is first. The dark web refers to the collection of websites exist on an encrypted network and that cannot be found by your regular browsers and search engines. Yep not everything can be googled. Notice ! The dark web is said to quite different from the deep web, although all of these terms tend to be used interchangeably (I will address that in another post).

Even so, there are plenty of sites who seem to want to fill that void. Best Gore, which the original postmentioned, is still around and may be the best known of all gore sites. One issue that some may take…

Strange Websites and Puzzles to Explore on Lockdown

Being that many people are quarantined because of COVID-19 right now, it seems all the more appropriate to come up with another list of strange or mysterious websites. A few of these have already been covered in the past here, as on the post Hekatestation.net: What?, but clearly there are many others out there.

One interesting thing about that site, which had not been mentioned in the earlier…

DuckDuckGo is Not a Dark Web Search Engine (Revisited!)

Back in early 2018, I wrote the post DuckDuckGo is not a Dark Web Search Engine in order to shed some light on this subject. It seems that there’s still a lot of confusion over this, unfortunately.

DuckDuckGo search engine

One of the reasons that it seems people get mixed up about this is that when you download the Tor Browser, DuckDuckGo is the default search engine that it uses. Perhaps…

Μύθοι και αλήθειες γύρο από το Darknet – Deepweb – Darkweb

Όλοι λίγο πολύ έχουμε ακούσει για το Darknet, ιδιαίτερα δε από τις ενημερωτικές εκπομπές της τηλεόρασης στις οποίες ο όρος χρησιμοποιείται για να δημιουργήσει ένα κλίμα ανησυχίας στους τηλεθεατές σχετικά με μια “αόρατη και επικίνδυνη” πλευρά του internet. Τι ισχύει από όλα αυτά και ποιες αλήθειες και οι μύθοι σχετικά με το Darknet;
